Timagenis Law Firm

Founded in 1977, Timagenis Law Firm (the "Firm") has gradually grown to become one of the most prominent and market leading business law firms in Greece and now consists of a sizeable team of lawyers whose practice experience ranges from two to over forty years. The Firm is involved in demanding high profile transactions and resolution of disputes, both domestic and international, on a personalised basis. The limited volume of repetitive and standardised work, has offered the Firm's attorneys a vast range of skills, experience and adaptability. The Firm has contacts and correspondents throughout Greece and worldwide and very often cooperates with major foreign international law firms. The Firm offers comprehensive legal services in all areas of law in the context of a pragmatic and business oriented approach. However, the Firm's particular strength lies in maritime, banking and finance, general corporate and commercial matters, as well as complex domestic and international litigations and arbitrations, and it has been ranked in many international directories as one of the top experts in these areas.
